PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate the revised Form LEG-R.053.00, Flow Meter Post-Installation Information Reimbursement Form, into Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C. The effect of the rule is that the appropriate Form for requesting reimbursement for the installation of a flow meter will be located in Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C.

SUMMARY: Forms and Instructions.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The District conducted an economic review of the revisions to the rule and determined that the impact or regulatory cost, if any, of the revisions will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S. The proposed revisions to the Form do not require additional information from the applicant for flow meter reimbursement. Therefore, it is not anticipated to increase costs associated with completing the Form. Further, participation in the flow meter reimbursement program is voluntary. Generally, applicants for reimbursement would participate only if the benefits of reimbursement outweigh the costs of applying to the program. Based on the foregoing, the proposed rule will have no adverse impacts and is not likely to directly or indirectly increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate in the state within one year after the implementation of the rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
